Well, I found another program that tests signal strength well - SichboPVR. https://sichbopvr.com/en-us/

It's saying 100 percent signal on most stations, but zero on RF channel 28, so I guess its signal related.

Thanks for the time sticking with me here everybody. I think I have to work out this one on my own now.

I got this figured out. It's embarassing, but here's the deal.

I have an antenna in my attic. The PC is in the basement. The coax that runs from the attic to the basement is one of those that is actually 2 wires glued together that are easy to pull apart. I think they call it double or dual coax. Anyway, once I found an easy signal strength program, I thought I should just change which coax I was using since it was easy to check.

I was positive that I was using the correct coax, but it turns out that I wasn't. Once I changed to the other cable, I went from 36 channels to 90, including KSTU which was the one that I really wanted. I guess that a 50 foot coax cable was a good enough antenna to get most stations, but not all.

It's still weird that I didn't get all of the stations from the same tower, but that is a mystery for another day.

Again, thank you to all who took time to check my logs and brainstorm ideas. I very much appreciate it!
